Plugged my FitBit in to charge last night, all fine.  This morning it had no WiFi connection and when I went to the section to connect, there was a WiFi network name I had never seen, and not my normal one.  Should  I be concerned for any reason?

I did get rid of the strange one, and put mine back in.

Hi @DanD49  it's normal to see different networks listed when you go to connect your phone or computer. When I connect my phone, I see the various networks that belong to my neighbors. Ignoring them, I connect to my own. Be sure you have your own network password protected so no one else can access it.

Yes, I understand very well other networks will be seen.  This issue is that  it indicates I've used the strange network in. the past, but is out of range now.  No idea what it is, never saw it before.

Sure sounds strange. Maybe someone was playing with your phone? I hate when people play with mine and change things!
